TV Source Unknown in Lovelace?Dashboard

[meghead]

Seems I had used the MAC address from the phone's "settings" page. But once I grabbed the mac address from the MQTT Explorer the buttons started working. Not all the buttons work but at least I've now got something to work within MQTT Explorer.

Success!

Please, check the MQTT broker, with: https://github.com/tiagofreire-pt/Home_Assistant_Hisense_TV#further-debugging-or-exploring-the-mqtt-broker-inside-the-tv

I'm able to connect to my tv using MQTT explorer but not entirely sure what I'm looking for. Here's what I'm seeing in MQTT Explorer;

remoteapp mobile broadcast platform_service data ui_service state = {"statetype":"sourceswitch","sourceid":"HDMI3","sourcename":"HDMI3","is_signal":1,"is_lock":0,"hotel_mode":0,"displayname":"HDMI3"} data picturesetting = {"action":"notify_value_changed","menu_id":127,"menu_value_type":"int","menu_value":1} txtinputdata = {"vkb_status":1,"input_data":"Big Tv"} 87:f1:ef:9a:d3:4c$vidaa_common platform_service data getdeviceinfo = { "eth0": "a062fb1cd66b", "wlan0": "303235e81ee8", "ip": "myip", "tv_name": "My Tv", "voice": "2", "platform": "1", "transport_protocol": "2150", "region": "4", "vidaa_support": "1", "country": "GBR", "language": "eng", "model_name": "65A53FEVS", "tv_version": "V0000.01.00S.L0923" } c0:11:65:fb:af:f4$normal platform_service data getdeviceinfo = { "eth0": "a062fb1cd66b", "wlan0": "303235e81ee8", "ip": "myip", "tv_name": "My Tv", "voice": "2", "platform": "1", "transport_protocol": "2150", "region": "4", "vidaa_support": "1", "country": "GBR", "language": "eng", "model_name": "65A53FEVS", "tv_version": "V0000.01.00S.L0923" }

You should replace the mac address of your smartphone, as stated in the tutorial:

executa_hisense_input_hdmi_1:
  alias: TV - Input HDMI 1
  sequence:
    - service: mqtt.publish
      data:
        topic: '/remoteapp/tv/ui_service/SMARTPHONE_MAC_ADDRESS_AUTHORIZED_PREVIOUSLY_WITH_THE_APP_REMOTENOW$normal/actions/changesource'
        payload: '{"displayname": "HDMI1","hotel_mode": "","isDemo": false,"is_lock": "","is_signal": "","sourceid": "4","sourcename": "HDMI1"}'

Example:

SMARTPHONE_MAC_ADDRESS_AUTHORIZED_PREVIOUSLY_WITH_THE_APP_REMOTENOW == AA:BB:CC:DD:EE:FF
